Windows _cheap_? What world are you living in? Last time I checked,
neither Windows nor most of the applications most people try to use on
this OS were free - instead the necessary licenses amount to quite some
money. I'm using all the software I need and I didn't pay a single cent
in licensing fees for years - for the simple reason that the software as
well as the operating systems I use are free (free UNIX systems and free
software).
